In a statement, Sofapaka confirmed the development, thanking the gaffer and wishing him better tidings ahead while maintaining that they will continue pushing for a top five finish this season.

“Sofapaka FC would like to announce that we have parted ways with the Head Coach Mr Ken Odhiambo on mutual consent. The club would like to thank Coach Ken Odhiambo for his time with Sofapaka Fc and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours,” said the club.
